As I didn’t write a 2013 list this time last year—I had just moved to New York and the year had been a bit too tumultuous for music to get adequate attention—here’s an aggregated list of my favorite music purchases over the past two years. My list for 2012 is available here.
Minilogue / Son Kite / Sebastian Mullaert: overall output 2013-2014
From the very beginning of their career, Marcus Henriksson and Sebastian Mullaert have had a rare knack for the very fundamentals... Read More

Preamble
This article serves a few different purposes: It documents my own understanding of the origins of this specific music genre, highlights some of my favorite tracks, albums and labels, and it attempts to explain the virtues of the genre to those who are new to it. I have had to make many large omissions, and if you’re familiar with the genre you may disagree with with some of my choices regarding what to mention.

As usual I did the cover design and I’m quite happy with how it turned out. Interestingly, in my youtube video from Lost Theory festival 2011 where I played a very early version of the title track (it was just a couple of days old at that time and has been... Read More

As of November 1st my wife and I now live in New York. I’m here to start an east coast office for my employer.

I’ve had time to check out Stereo Exchange and In Living Stereo, and while they are nice stores it’s becoming evident... Read More

Various – “Instrumentarium”
Various – “Remember The Slime”
Crop Circles – “Full Mental Jackpot”

Among my quite diverse musical interests I’m a label DJ for Belgian goa/psychedelic trance label Suntrip Records. For their latest compilation they involved me and the other DJ’s a bit more in the track selection process. It was interesting to see how different our tastes are and I don’t envy Fabien & Joske for having to wade through so many mediocre demo tracks.
A compilation is rarely as coherent as an album so there are some tracks I’m not too excited... Read More
